Seaside Floral Button Down Maxi Dress

As a 5'10" woman originally from Manchester, UK and now thriving in the Middle East for over 35 years, I have searched high and low for a real maxi dress—one that doesn’t stop awkwardly at the ankle or compromise on style for sun safety. Cabana Life’s Camden Geo Button Down Maxi Dress is the answer I did not know I had been waiting for.
The moment I slipped into this dress, I felt seen. The length is perfect—elegant, flowing, and flattering for taller women like me. The geometric print in rich red hues is a bold yet refined statement, and the colored accents add just the right touch of vibrancy. It is a dress that feels both timeless and modern.
Why I am obsessed:
True sun protection: Living in the Gulf, I am acutely aware of the sun’s impact on skin health. The UPF 50+ fabric gives me peace of mind without sacrificing style.
Tailored comfort: The blouson silhouette and functional waist tie create a graceful shape that moves with me, whether I am at a coastal brunch or leading a strategic healthcare meeting.
Practical elegance: Side pockets (a must!) and subtle side slits offer both function and flair.
Wrinkle-free and travel-ready: It is my go-to for weekend escapes, professional events, and everything in between.
Cabana Life has mastered the art of designing for real women - those who want to feel confident, protected, and effortlessly chic.
This dress is not just part of my wardrobe - it is part of my lifestyle!

As a longtime devotee of Cabana Life, I thought I had experienced the best of sun-safe fashion—until I slipped into the Seaside Floral Button-Down Maxi Dress. Now owning all three colorways, I can confidently say this blue beauty is the crown jewel of my collection!
From the moment I wore it, compliments poured in—from strangers at brunch to colleagues at executive meetings. The vibrant blue print is both serene and striking, evoking coastal elegance with a whisper of wanderlust. It is the kind of dress that turns heads without trying too hard.
Why do I think it is a wardrobe essential? Wrinkle-free magic: I have packed it, worn it straight from my suitcase, and looked polished every time.
Year-round versatility: Whether I’m strolling through Bahrain’s sunny souks or layering up for cooler Saudi mornings, this dress adapts beautifully.
Feminine comfort: The blouson silhouette, functional waist tie, and side slits create a flattering shape while allowing freedom to move, dance, and live.
Thoughtful details: Side pockets (yes, pockets!) and UPF 50+ protection make it as practical as it is pretty.
Cabana Life has mastered the art of blending sun protection with style, and this dress is proof. Itis not just clothing - it is confidence, comfort, and celebration stitched into every seam.
If I could wear it every day, I would. And honestly? Sometimes I do....!

Love the material and print !

Love the fit and material

Really wanted to like this top, but the sleeves just didn’t cover as much shoulder as I wish they did. I wanted something a little bit thicker but not quite a short sleeve.
